Centurions Announce Community Event Game



Leigh Centurions are delighted to announce details of the first of our
community event fixtures to be held at Golborne Parkside on Saturday 12th
April 2014.



As part of the "Leigh Centurions Community Partner Club Scheme" launched in
November 2013, event planning has been taking shape behind the scenes with
the aim to take a series of reserve team fixtures out on the road and to
create a host of all-day family fun events.



The action will begin at 12 noon with the game due kick off at 14.30pm and
Leigh Centurions will descend on our Community Partners for a fantastic day
of fun as we take on the North East Academy who will be brought to town by
Great Britain legend Lee Crooks.



As part of the day's events there will be coaching sessions & tag rugby
taking place, with first team players in attendance along with club
directors and officials and our very own Parky Pig and the Junior Centurions
will also be on hand with free season tickets being made available and much
more.

Centurions Director Andy Mazey said:

"The Board of Management are delighted to announce the first of our planned
community event fixtures for the 2014 season. Not only does this initiative
further strengthen our relationships with our community partner clubs but it
also enables them to generate much needed revenue for the amateur game. It's
a real win win situation for all concerned and for the game of rugby league
generally and all the profits on the day will be retained by Golborne
Parkside Pirates. As an added benefit it also gives us an opportunity to
spread the word about our great club and to showcase our fantastic reserve
team players to a wider audience. Our reserve team manager Don Boyle and
Coach Paul Anderson have fully embraced this initiative and our stars of the
future will be on show as part of what will be a great day of fun. On behalf
of the board I would like to thank Golborne Parkside for making this
possible and would urge as many of our loyal supporters to get down to what
is a fantastic venue and enjoy the day"

Details of further Community Event games will be released in due course.
